I wonder if his voice is changing too.
Not that pink, and semi fluffy look. No neon, bald green head, or even the orange tint.
Ahhh, the teenage years.

Spoonbills At A Dike
This dike road has a sharp drop to the water. To get a good look around you need to stick your head down and around the brush. Tricky doings here.
The reward was a small group of Spoonbill. I had seen a few fly to the spot however I thought maybe two would be here.
They were slowing making their way along the waters edge, heading down to a cut where we couldn’t photograph them easily. The water was a good depth for them finally.
Roseate Spoonbills And Friends
A decent size group of Spoonbills, better yet they were spaced just right for a wide image.
A Great Egret and Black-necked Stilt in the background added even more to the shot.

Spoonbills, ACE Basin
This group of Roseate Spoonbills moved around the edge of this marsh, staying in a cut, for a few days.
One end of this cut is hard to get into, a nice private place for them to roost. However this location is open and an easy place to stand off and shoot.
They moved around the corners here giving us flight shots. In fairness the length of the flight was short, they were slow.
Adult Spoonbill
A Roseate Spoonbill in his full shocking neon bright mating colors.
really bright full sun is not a photographers friend, except with birds like this.
Is this not a ‘coat of many colors’.
Spoonbills And Skimmers
The Black Skimmers came in so fast the Spoonbill didn’t know it until it was over.
Skimmers fly up, over, and around any other birds feeding where they skim. Never a problem.

Spoonbill, Finding Something To Eat
Because they dig in the mud, sift through the bottom sediment, it’s probably better to not know what they find.
If you look close below you may see something even he didn’t want to eat.
